Who can help me
I am getting a Cupcake CNC but my parents want me to call a person who has one (not just use forums) and talk to them about the whole process. Thanks a lot,

» Who can help me
Summary:
Who has a Maker bot and is would let me contact you?
Are you able to say where you're located? It doesn't have to be a specific address, but knowing the general city+country will help in tracking down relatively local individuals and/or groups.
They'll be in the best position to fill you in on the details and help you get operational when the kit arrives.
People will be more willing to help you if they know it's a local call ;)
You could use skype or some other voip software and basically "call" around the world for nothing, except your internet access that you have anyway… Thats usually what i do if i want to talk to my relatives that live in an other country.
Just an idea… ;)
BTW: Saw your post on the reprap forums as well. Printing Mendels is a non-trivial task. At best with a well-tuned bot it'll take you 60-ish hours to print a Mendel + Upgrades and a Wade's extruder.
Which these days sell for < $300. Even at $300 you're talking $5/hour — and then the cost of materials.
Thanks everybody for the quick and helpful responses, I am new to this.
I live near St. Louis Missouri, USA
I DO have a skype account
I also have a home and a cell phone but I wont post the number on the forums, I can email it though.
Thanks again everybody!

check out the Makerbot Map. looks like there are a couple of people in your area with machines. I'd see if they are doing any demos in your area and meet them if you can. alternately I'm in Seattle but I'd be willing talk over some of the things you'll have to go through getting a machine up and running. contact me via gmail, I've got google voice chat installed. but skype would do too.
